With automake 1.13.1, there are these issues: configure.ac:149: warning: The 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro is deprecated, and will soon be removed. configure.ac:149: You should use the Autoconf-provided 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro instead, configure.ac:149: and use '$(MKDIR_P)' instead of '$(mkdir_p)'in your Makefile.am files. > > These are basically noise, safe to ignore, will disappear once the required Gettext > version is upgraded; and plans for removal of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P have been dropped, so > this warning won't become a fatal error anyway. I think it's best to just ignore it.
